It's chilly, it's wet, and there's nothing better than soup to warm up our cold fingers at this time of year.

Since we discovered that our gerbil loves eating butternut squash seeds (more than he loves almost anything else!), we've been buying a lot of butternut. I also had some Hungarian paprika which I picked up at a food show late last year, and have been wanting to try.

If you're unfamiliar with Hungarian paprika, by the way, you should note that it has a dry, mild, and slightly smokey flavour - and it isn't hot. So if you change the recipe to use hot paprika, you'll almost certainly want less of it!

This soup works out at about 450 calories if you split it between two, and it's a hearty bowlful.
